What will you major in/study? Business or Law

Why did you choose Army? “West Point has been my dream since I was a little kid. I went to a lacrosse camp at West Point when I was around 10, and fell in love with the campus, the history, and the people in uniform.

“As I got older, I realized that no matter what, I wanted to give back to this great country. This belief increased my interest in Army to an even greater extent. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to be playing lacrosse at the highest level, and to simultaneously serve our country.”

What is your HS team’s outlook for next season? “As it is the goal every year, our team goal next year is to win a Suffolk County Championship. We haven’t been to Stony Brook since ’07, but we’re looking to put Babylon back on the map this year. I believe my teammates and I are highly capable of reaching our goal, alongside our dedicated coaches.”

Additional Comments: “I thank my parents for instilling great discipline and morals in me from an early age. They have greatly influenced who I am, and where I stand as a person in today’s day and age.”
